Camp Time

Lauren attended camp 34.  This is her second year going to church camp.  She got to be Aubrey's cabin and Caroline (Aubrey's mom) is her counslor.  She was so excited to go.

Circus Time

The night of Lauren's birthday we celebrated by going to the circus.  Lauren loved it.  She thought it was all so much fun.  It was a fun way to celebrate her birthday.

Making a Rainbow Cake

Lauren and I decided to make a rainbow cake to take to Janine's house to celebrate her birthday.  Lauren was not sure how it would turn out but it was so pretty when done and tasted pretty good also.

Happy Birthday Lauren

Happy Birthday Lauren.  I can't believe you are 9 years old.  Wow you are getting to be such a big girl.

The night before her birthday, while Lauren slept, I put a huge Happy Birthday sign up in her room and filled the floor with balloons.  She was so surprised where she woke up and saw it all.  I was a great way to start the day.

She then opened her present from me.  She wanted these things soooo bad.  Look how happy she is!!  That smile says it all!!

Happy Birthday Lauren - Friend's Party

We had Lauren's birthday celebration with her friends.  We need to make note that the end of summer is not that best time for a party.  So many of her school friends were on vacation.  It was great that so many of her Diva cheer friends were able to come.  It was a fun day with swimming, crafts, food and fun.  Happy Birthday Lauren.
